consultancies

In late 2013 I spoke to the customers of Peer One, a provider of hosting and related services for the web. Many of their customers are technology consultancies that build e-commerce systems for large retailers using third-party tools such as Magento, and are often known as systems integrators.

The question I was asked most was: ‘How can we apply the Curve when our core product is so expensive to deliver? We can’t afford to keep giving away our services for free, because they have a substantial cost to us. We know that we need to find customers, but the Curve doesn’t seem to help us, particularly those of us in small businesses with only ten or twenty staff.’
